Description
Two women, each marked by loss and linked together by a strange twist of fate, journey to an ancient city—a storied city without borders—in search of answers and escape. But what they discover there will change their lives in ways neither of them could expect.
Two actors (Eboni Booth and Mary Cavett) play more than thirty characters on this wild ride through a city of doubles, monastic cheese, octogenarian vocalists, dizzying bureaucracy, ancient graves, and lives more expansive and singular and wondrous than found even in myths and legends.

the radio play is absolutely riveting, and the voice actors do an incredible job. I loved listening to this, their voices are calm and I enjoyed the interplay between their narration. the dynamic between Tess and Laura is organic and fun to listen to, and the structure of Mostavia reminds me of China Mieville's book, The City and the City, and the messiness of borders and overplay of multiple cities coexisting on top of each other.
